Preparation
- 1
Brew the Coffee
Brew a cup of your favorite coffee using a coffee maker, French press, or any preferred method. Make sure it is hot.

In a heatproof glass, combine the freshly brewed coffee, Irish whiskey, and granulated sugar. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Topping

Prepare the Cream
In a separate bowl, lightly whip the heavy cream until it thickens slightly but is still pourable. You want it to be able to float on top of the coffee.

Assemble the Irish Coffee
Carefully pour the whipped cream over the back of a spoon onto the coffee mixture to create a layered effect. This helps the cream to float on top.

Garnish
Sprinkle a little cocoa powder on top of the cream, and place 1-2 coffee beans for garnish.
